Description
"Few things a sailor fears worse than a Riorisuchus. Hell, I know men who'd rather brave a storm than encounter 'em."

The Riorisuchus, one of the most dangerous predators of the sea. Kind of ironic to know that this massive sea beast generally eats large sea faring birds. This has earned them the nickname of Bird Snatchers.

Riorisuchus rarely stay fully submerged, instead, they keep their snout above the sea level and wait for prey to go by. As soon as something enters their field of view, the Riorisuchus rockets half its body out of the water, and devours the prey it has caught. The reason humanoids fear them is because they don't fear humanoids. A curious Riorisuchus will surface and swim alongside boats. An even more curious one will try one of the crew members. The rest is history.

Riorisuchus move alone, but when huge flocks of birds gather in one area, it is not uncommon to see numerous Riorisuchus waiting to strike.

Various Facts:

- Riorisuchus can reach 100 feet in length and 30 feet in diameter. They can weigh up to 20,000 lbs.
- Riorisuchus have tough armor covering their stomach and thick scales covering the rest of their body.
- Riorisuchus can live for 200 years.
- Riorisuchus can swim at speeds reaching 20 miles an hour
- The long, sharp spikes on the back of a Riorisuchus can easily slice through the hulls of ships.
- Riorisuchus can unhinge their jaws like snakes.
- One Riorisuchus had been spotted rocketing out of the water, and slamming down on a ship, snapping it in two. The survivors were pulled under soon after.
- A notable Riorisuchus is Amphetrodon.
- Many cults worship them as Children of the Sea Mother.
- Riorisuchus can live on land, but have no quick way of moving. Some that had been washed on beaches survived for days before succumbing to starvation.
- The large bulge on a Riorisuchus' jaw is in fact a muscle that contains an intensified, quick flowing stream of venom. When the Riorisuchus tenses the muscle with their mouth open, a jet of this venom will spray out at distances reaching 50 feet. Upon contact, this venom paralyzes prey.
- If not seen, it is possible to ride on a Riorisuchus' back. Although when they submerge you better have a back-up plan.

Threat Level: Very High
